Welcome to the official start experience
This page explains the official onboarding flow available at Trezor.io/start. It shows the correct steps to initialize your Trezor device, verify firmware, set a secure PIN, record your recovery seed, and connect to trusted wallet apps. The content below is optimized for clarity and search visibility while prioritizing actionable safety guidance.
Purchase authentic device
Buy Trezor devices only from official channels or verified resellers. Tampered devices can expose you to risk. Begin every setup by visiting Trezor.io/start to ensure you follow the official verification and firmware flow.
Unbox & inspect
Inspect tamper-evident seals and confirm accessories. Keep packaging until setup completes. If packaging looks altered, contact support instead of proceeding. The official start page has guidance for model-specific checks.
Connect & open Trezor Start
Connect the device to your computer and navigate to Trezor.io/start. The official site will detect your model and guide you through installation and firmware verification. Avoid copying links from emails—type the URL directly.
Install firmware & confirm integrity
If firmware installation or an update is necessary, follow the prompts in the official start flow. Verify checksums and fingerprints on the device display as directed to ensure you have authentic firmware.
Create PIN & record recovery seed
Set a strong PIN on-device and write down your recovery seed exactly as shown. Use the supplied backup card or a durable metal backup—never store the seed digitally. Your seed is the only way to recover funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Connect apps & verify transactions
Use trusted wallet apps and services to manage assets. All signing occurs on the device, keeping private keys offline. Verify transaction details on the device screen before confirming to avoid phishing or man-in-the-middle risks.
